U12 Match Report

1-team - Round Towers

2-team - Ballyboden: cancelled due to poor numbers

The 1-team had a great game on Sunday, against a very strong
side. It was a brilliant display from our girls, deploying excellent tactics.
The strategy of attacking in threes, in a triangle, in combination with
accurate and deft hand-passing, proved to be a very successful strategy and the
finishing was very good. It was a confident display from all the FoxCab girls
who are really beginning to know their positions in the park. Round Towers was
a very nice club to visit and thanks are due to their mentors and helpers who
were great hosts.

The 2-team had a practice match with David and Ronan.

Senior and Junior Championship

Our Senior
team got their championship campaign off to a magnificent start on Wednesday
last when they had a very comprehensive win over Ballyboden on a final score of
Foxrock Cabinteely 7-15 Ballyboden St. Endaâs 0-7. The large number of
Foxrock Cabinteely supporters present were treated to some lovely football over
the hour and are looking forward to the teams next game in the championship
which is away to St. Sylvesters onJune 24th.

The team â
who are currently top of the division 1 league having won their first 3 games -
resume their league campaign on Wednesday when they travel to Pairc Ui Mhurchu
take on Ballyboden. Boden will no doubt be sore after their championship loss
and will be looking for revenge on Wednesday evening. We wish the ladies well
in this game.

The juniors
were very unlucky to lose to Raheny in the first round of the junior B
championship. The teams were neck and neck coming into the last 5 minutes but
Raheny pulled ahead to win by 3-9 to 1-7. The next game in the championship for
the Juniors is on June 24th
when they will play Naomh Barrog in Kilbogget Park. On Wednesday night
they also play Naomh Barrog in the division 5 cup which is also in Kilbogget
Park and we would urge all supporters to come along and support the team.

Leinster U14 final

The club has
4 representatives on the Dublin U14 panel that will be playing in the Leinster

U12 Match report

1-team - St Olaf's

2-team -
Castleknock

The 2-team produced a strong, confident
performance against Castleknock in Kilbogget on Sunday with a great focus on
goal-scoring. Both teams worked well together, with plenty of well-executed
hand-passing and kicking. The girls were communicating well, calling names and
working the ball in with some tight hand-passing, which proved to be a very
effective offensive strategy. They also played a terrific defensive game when
required.

The 1-team produced a very competitive and
close game. St Olafâs defence was suburb and they put into play the two-man
tackle very well. Our girls responded brilliantly and put in a great
performance from front to back, the result of which was a very tight scoring
result! Good day, all in all. Thanks to Molly, Aoife and Leah who helped make
up numbers and did very well.

the games that we've played so far this season are available here.

Senior
& Junior Championship

Best of luck to our Senior and Junior teams when they start
their championship campaigns on Wednesday night. Last year the seniors made it all the way to
the final and were very unlucky to lose â in fact it was the only competitive
game they lost last year. To date, they have won all the games that they have
played in the League and Cup but the championship is a different ball game as
this is the competition that every team wants to win. This year they are in a
very tough group along with Ballyboden, Clanna Gael Fontenoy and St.
Sylvesters. To add to the challenge, 2
of the games are away from home and itâs vital that they win their home game.
Their only home game is this Wednesday night against Ballyboden with the throw
in at 7:30. We would encourage all supporters to come along to Kilbogget on
Wednesday evening and support the team.

Having won the Junior C championship last year, our Junior
team will play in the B championship this year.
They too face a very tough group having been drawn in the same group as
Raheny, OâTooles and Naomh Barrog. On Wednesday they travel to St. Anneâs Park
(pitch #10) to take on Raheny in what is a âdouble headerâ. These teams were
due to play in the Cup competition a few weeks ago but got cancelled due to the
weather, so the game on Wednesday night is of even greater importance to the
team. For those of you unable to make it
to either game, weâll be posting updates to Twitter so please follow us â @OfficialFoxCabGAA
â if you want to keep up to date on how the games are going.

Leinster
interprovincial team

The Ladies interprovincial series takes place next weekend
in Kinnegad, Co. Westmeath and the Leinster panel was announced on Friday. We
were thrilled when 5 Foxrock Cabinteely players were listed on the panel.
Congratulations and well done to Sinead Goldrick, Niamh Collins, Amy Connolly,
Hannah Noonan and Fiona Claffey on their selecton. Sinead will also captain the
team.

U12
match report

After a cancellation by Robert Emmets, the Under 12s mixed
the groups in for a 2-Team fixture against Clontarf to give everyone a bit of
match time. Given the large numbers, the playing-time for each girl was not
quite what we would have liked but, as always, the girls rose to the occasion
displaying good sportsmanship all around. They all did brilliantly against a
tough Clontarf outfit in very windy conditions with the spoils being fairly
shared by both sides.

Another
Leinster inter-county honour for a Foxrock Cabinteely player

Congrats to Eve Reidy and her Dublin U16 team mates who beat
Meath in the Leinster Final by 3-10 to 1-10.

Fundamentals
Course

This is the first time that the club have arranged a
Fundamentals course exclusively for club members. Previously these would be
organized by DLGFA along with a number of participating clubs, sharing the
costs. We are endeavouring to source a suitable location, along with
providing lunch for attendees. The individual cost to members will not exceed
â¬20, and we are optimistic that this may reduce to â¬10 dependent on numbers. It
will be a tremendous benefit to the club to have more mentors qualified to
âFundamentalsâ level, and prepare us for future development.

Academy
Booklet

The Academy team
have done a marvellous job on updating their booklet. This is a very
comprehensive guide which covers all aspects of the Academy and can be
downloaded from here.

Minor
Division 5 League Champions

Man Oâ War 0-11 : Foxrock Cabinteely 3 â 3

What a game and what a result. Our Minor B team travelled to
Man Oâ War on a cold windy Monday evening and brought the League Cup back
home. We played with a strong wind in the first half but despite a couple
of good early attacks, we found ourselves 2 points down after 7 minutes to a
very mobile and direct Man OâWar team. We settled and, after unlucky
missed goal chances from Lucy Hartigan and Bea Jackson, a shot from Ciara
Begley eventually found the back of the net off 2 defenders. This settled
us and we followed up soon with a classy Rebecca Tonge goal. The loss of
Amy Egan after 16 minutes upset our rhythm and Man oâWar threatened our goal on
a number of occasions but we defended stoutly. Points from Eimear Hickey
and Rebecca Tonge saw us in at half time with a 6 point lead.

The second half was all about courage
and concentration. It needed tight marking, blocking, and working the
ball up to the forwards for increasingly rare attacks. However, roared on
by a large home crowd, Man OâWar picked off points and with 15 minutes to go
they were a point up. Many teams would have lain down but not these
girls. We stormed back up the field and pressed Man oâWar back.
Determined running from Rebecca Clarke, Erin Walshe and Catriona Murdiff
eventually saw the ball worked into Clea Culloty who smashed home a goal.
Back came Man Oâ War and picked off 2 points, one a fine save by Roisin
Sherwood, who was the coolest player on the pitch! Five minutes left and
we asked them for one last push. Great work from the back by Rachel
Murray, Anne Spain and Sarah Quinless got Rebecca Tonge in for a run at
goal. Man oâWar took her down 20 yards out. Up steeped Eimear
Hickey, captain on the night, and facing into the strong wind, showed nerves of
steel to split the posts.

The next 5 minutes were terrifying yet
terrific. Every girl defended every step of the way with Sorcha Walsh,
Niamh Ring and Alison Keane unbeatable. Eden Quiqley led the midfield
battle with Saoirse Morgan Fenenessy and Alannah Hedderman working back to
support her. With Jane Byrne and Aoife Bell ready to come in to support
the final push, the referee finally blew the whistle to great relief and
excitement for a victory won with no little skill and great heart. This
team came together from a mix of 3 teams and support from our U16 squad.
They have worked hard at training and bonded really well. They have grown
in skill and confidence in each game they played and in this game we saw girls
showing leadership on and off the pitch and a will to compete and win.

Congrats to Man OâWar for a very tough
but fair match. They are an excellent team who had beaten us earlier in
the season and had gone unbeaten for 10 competitive matches before this.
The match was very well refereed by George McAllister.

Special thanks to Team Manager Bernie
Hedderman; Asst Manager Denise Connor; Coach Paul Begley; Fitness Coaches Paul
Walsh and Brian Walshe; and Goal Keeper Coach Peter Murray. Thanks also
to some of our panel who couldnât make the final due to school and other
commitments: Ciara Somers; Sadhbh McCaul; Niamh Cullen; and Rachel Noone;
and to Rachel Ring, Isobel Jackson and Sophie Merrigan who have played with us
in some earlier games. All have contributed hugely to this great result.

The 1-Team
played St Marks and were fantastic. A pre-match coaching session focused on the
importance of looking up and accurate hand-passing, which the team took on
board, responding amazingly. All in all the girls were in great form and
the games were very exciting. They took their opportunities and got good scores
across the team. The opposition were also a great bunch of girls and two of
them generously played with Fox Cab.

The 2-Teams were
at St Judeâs, this fixture also producing some fantastic games, which
entertained the supporters and mentors as much as the girls. The Fox Cab skills
were well-matched in the opposition, producing some very tight and exciting
games with some very good tackling. Our girls showed great heart and courage as
ever and fought really hard, with a lower turnover rate, which was good to see.
There was some great scoring, especially from free kicks.

Pictures from all the games that
we've played so far this season are available here.

Seniors
take on Dublin U21

In preparation for
their upcoming championships, the senior team (who play their first championship game on May 20th) will play the Dublin U21âs (who play in the Aisling McGing championship on June 7th) in a challenge game on SUNDAY MAY 10 @6:45 p.m. in Kilbogget. NOTE: Please note the change of date
and time from the last correspondence that was sent on this. Our own Niamh Ryan is a member of the Dublin
U21 panel. This should be a highly entertaining and open game of football and
it would be well worth all members while to make their way to Kilbogget Park to
see both teams in action.

Fundamentals
Training Course

For some reason
there was no Fundamentals training course offered on the Southside this year so
the club have gone ahead and organised one which will happen towards the end of
May. The exact date has to be confirmed but all mentors will be contacted once
the details are final. All team managers
and mentors should note that it is a club requirement that all team mentors
need to have this course so anybody who does not yet have this will be expected
to attend.

Membership

Membership is now
overdue and thanks to those of you who have paid before the deadline. Can we
ask that those of you who have yet to pay to please do so ASAP. Membership can
be paid by clicking on the link on the home page of the web site.

May 17th and the U14 game happening on May 30th.

Family Day

Various members of the executive have been asked if the club
will be having a Family Day this year and the answer is YES. Organising
